The Seeds of this Plant muft be fown upon a moderate Hot-bed in March ; and when the Plants are come up, they fhouldbe tranfplanted into anew Hot-bedof a moderate Warmth, about four Inches afunder each Way, obferv- ing to water and fhade them until they have taken Root: after'which you muft let them have Air in Proportion to the Warmth of the Seafon, otherwife they will draw up very weak, andbe thereby lefs capable of enduring the open Air: You mutt alfo obferve to water them frequently, (but while they are very young it fhould not be given to themin too great Quantities) though whenthey are pretty ftrong they will require to have it often and in plenty.

The firft Sort is known by the Planters in merica under the Title of Oronoka; of which there feems to be two different Kinds, vary- ing in the Largenefg and Texture of their Leaves, fome having very broad, rough, roundifh Leaves; and others are narrower, fmoother, and doterminate ina Point: But ther of thefe Sorts are efteem’d by the ( n Planters, becaufe the Produce of this (tho’ it is much greater than the narrow- leav’d Sort) yet is not neanfo muchefteem’d by the Exglifh. This Sort is commonly cultied in Germany, about Hanover and Stra/b, and is fomewhat hardier than the narrow-leav’d Sorts, which renders it preferable to that for cultivating in Northern Climates. _ This Plant is order’d bythe College of Phy- fi lans for Medicinal Ufe, and is what fhould De made ufe of for the Unguentum Nicotiane, Ointment of Tobacco) though many times the Leffer or i/o Tobacco is brought to Market for that urpofe. The narrow-leav’d Sort is commonly call’d The Sweet-/cented Tobacco, from its having a much more agreeable Scent; when fmoak’d, than the broad-leav’d Sort; the Smoak of have fucceededwell) they wil! touch eachother, therefore they fhould be enur’d to the open Air gradually : after which they muft be taken up carefully, preferving a large Ball of Earth to each Root, and planted into a rich light Soil, in Rows two Feet afunder, and the Plants a Foot Diftance in the Rows, obferv- ing to water themi until they have taken Roots after whichthey will require no farther Care (but only to keep thern clear from Weeds) until the Plants begin to fhew their Flower- ftems ; at which time youfhould cut off the Tops of them, that their Leaves may be the better nourifh’d, whereby they will be render’d larger, and ofa thicker Subftance. In Augu/t they will be full grown, when they fhould be cut for Ufe; for if they are permittedto ftand longer, their under Leaves will begin to decay. The Perennial Sort was brought from the French Settlements in the Weft-Indies into the Royal Garden at Paris, where it is cultivated in fmall Quantities for making Snuf The Seeds of this kind I receiv’d from Monfieur de Feffien, Demonftrator of the Plants in the Royal Garden; It has fucceeded very well in the Phy/fick Garden, andabides the Winter in a common Green-houfe without artificial Heat.
